Pros

The people! Hands down. The employees that you work alongside with are some of the best that I have experienced. There are many driven individuals. There are also many that are not and that is OK but there is a clear opportunity for those that put in the work early on.

Cons

On the flip side of the pro's, there are con's also associated with the people. False promises can be made to high performers and when that starts to happen, you will lose a lot of good people. Paycom is a great stepping stone for people to increase career opportunities. The swag is nice but compensation is prettier. Bonus opportunities only come in certain departments when there are more client facing departments that don't receive that opportunity. The blame is quick to be thrown though if that department is the reason that a client terminates services. Specialists are expected to go through the same training's with now compensation to show when others get that.

Pros

Get to meet new people every day, the environment and culture is amazing, and I am always welcomed wherever I go!

Cons

Stressful getting the hang of things. Took a couple months. Very worth sticking around because there is great potential to move up.

Pros

- Base salary - PTO - Awesome colleagues - $1 Medical PPO offering

Cons

- Upper leadership seem to not value the operations department as much as they do with sales. They are not consistent as well, which causes them to change the entire department's job description, expectations, & commission structure every few months. Change is good but huge change every 3-4 months is so exhausting. - They overload you with too many clients to handle while increasing the number of internal calls. When asking for support from sales or middle management, its typically a hard negotiation or non-existent. Expect to work way over 40 hours/week and juggle 10-20+ clients at a time. - Sales will oversell on product & implementation expectation which makes the job 1000% harder. Turnover with sales is extremely high so don't expect for even the best reps stay as they either leave, get fired because quota was not met, or the new manager will cut them if they're "not the vibe". You get left with the newbies who does not know how to sell or support you when you need them. - Every role in this company has high turnover in general. Making it very hard to cross collaborate with other departments as everyone is either extremely swamped or new to the role and cannot support as well, - Being forced to go to Oklahoma for training every year, sometimes twice a year.
